Fire and Fury

 

This sounds and looks like some of the hateful, judgmental descriptions of God by the “ancients” in some sections of the Old Testament. Someday even the ignorant, and the religiously ignorant, will start to understand the real God, and then we can move collectively towards a higher vision for mankind.

 

Our POTU$ has a fourth grade education level understanding of religion, and at times confuses God with Santa Claus, or with the Devil. Those who are ignorant of the interior dimensions of their own being, like Trump, are the most susceptible to fantasy thinking, the delusions of grandeur, and the collective idiocy associated with all “pseudo religious thinkers”.

 

If we “believe in God”, what on earth does that mean?

 

Is God just our pathetic servant that administers our hate to the world?

 

Is this understanding making “America Great Again”?

 

What is our personal view of the world, and our relationship with all of the life upon it?

 

Guess what?

 

That is what “God” delivers back to us! (“As a man (woman) sees/thinks in their heart, so it is unto them”).

 

Life is a self-fulfilling prophesy, and we walk into the world that we have already created, and co-created with others, within our minds and hearts.

 

We don’t need a thick story book like the Bible to learn that simple, profound truth. Apparently, not enough people have discerned the truth trying to be communicated within that old book. There instead continues to be a focus on the outdated tribal narratives that blame and scapegoat others for all our problems by eschewing personal responsibility, and a host of other hand-me-down misunderstandings taught for many hundreds of years by ignorant religious elements within the family, and the so-called “religious” world.

 

Our world needs new universal religious texts and teachings that transcend all religions and the subsequent tribalism associated with them. Mastering “The Art And Science Of Seeing All Life Through The New Lens Of Insight, Love And Compassion” would be better source material for good universal understanding and enlightenment.

 

“All that we now see, or will ever see, unto eternity, is our self.

 

How will we see our self today?”

 

The collective answer to that question determines the quality and characteristics of the world that we all live in today.

 

A new, more universally conscious collective answer to that question may save the world from the evil/ignorance of the powerful and the “religious”. The real Christianity based upon Jesus of Nazareth’s affinity for the poor (and the Prodigal Son, of which he identified with), and Saint Paul’s mystical teachings is an abomination to those who profess love for the “fire and brimstone” Old Testament concept of the “higher power”.

 

I dare say that right now there are only a minority of Christians that truly understand their religion and its implications. And the world remains persecuted and oppressed by all of the corrupted religious and political leaders professing loyalty to their particular religion, be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Rastafarian, or pick one or twenty more to place here.

 

“God, please save me from those who claim allegiance to you” (seen on a bumper sticker)

 

Please, save yourself

Presently, I am 67 years old, and I am learning how to live the life of a retired person. I am married to Sharon White, a retired hospice nurse, and writer. Whose Death Is It Anyway-A Hospice Nurse Remembers Sharon is a wonderful friend and life partner of nearly 30 years. We have three grandsons through two of Sharon's children. I am not a published writer or poet. My writings are part of my new life in retirement. I have recently created a blog, and I began filling it up with my writings on matters of recovery and spirituality. I saw that my blog contained enough material for a book, so that is now my new intention, to publish a book, if only so that my grandsons can get to know who their grandfather really was, once I am gone. The title for my first book will be: Penetrating The Conspiracy Of Silence, or, How I Lived Beyond My Expiration Date I have since written 7 more books, all of which are now posted on this site. I have no plans to publish any of them, as their material is not of general interest, and would not generate enough income to justify costs. I have taken a deep look at life, and written extensively about it from a unique and rarely communicated perspective. Some of my writing is from 2016 on to the present moment. Other writing covers the time prior to 1987 when I was a boy, then an addict and alcoholic, with my subsequent recovery experience, and search for "Truth". Others are about my more recent experiences around the subjects of death, dying, and transformation, and friends and family having the most challenging of life's experiences. There are also writings derived from my personal involvement with and insight into toxic masculinity, toxic religion, toxic capitalism, and all of their intersections with our leadere. These topics will not be a draw for all people, as such personal and/or cultural toxicities tends to get ignored, overlooked, or "normalized" by those with little time for insight, introspection, or interest in other people's points of view on these troubling issues. There also will be a couple of writings/musings about "GOD", but I try to limit that kind of verbal gymnastics, because it is like chasing a sunbeam with a flashlight. Yes, my books are non-fiction, and are not good reading for anybody seeking to escape and be entertained. Some of the writings are spiritual, philosophical and intellectual in nature, and some descend the depths into the darkest recesses of the human mind. I have included a full cross section of all of my thoughts and feelings. It is a classic "over-share", and I have no shame in doing so. A Master Teacher once spoke to me, and said "no teacher shall effect your salvation, you must work it out for yourself". "Follow new paths of consciousness by letting go of all of the mental concepts and controls of your past". This writing represents my personal work towards that ultimate end.
